Your daughter who is just of 20 days has been diagnosed with albinisim her eye colour is redish or orange is it confirm that she would have a weak eye sight or anything like this?
.. I am a child of albinisim I wear glasses and my skin is not the color of others instead it is pale which is usual. There are 3 stages of albinisim 1 being the non severee 3 is most severee but I have stage 1 of albinisim . There ar some other cases in albinisim where you do have regular skin coloration but you still have hard troubles of seeing. So yes it is very normal espicially for me. Sometimes having such low vision because of alibinisim some children of this type of rare disease they may not be able to see when older or drive if not keeping up with glasses and doctor appointments. If you do have a child like this I recommend Dr.Susan Gormozeno she is a low vision specialist. Love,Bubbles
Does sickle cell disease require two allele or multiple alleles?
Sickle cell disease is an autosomal reccessive sexlinked trait so, a female msut have 2 recessive alleles to have the trait and a male needs only one allele (this is because there is no corresponding site for this allele on the Y chromosome. The female can be a carrier of the disorder with the defective allele on one X chromosome and a normal allele on the other X chromosome. Female carrriers can have a mixture of normal and abnormal redblood cells.
Can males be carriers of sexlinked traits?
No. Carriers are people that carry the gene for something but exhibit no phenotype for it. Since males have no extra copy to hide a recessive trait, they cannot be carriers for sex linked traits.Answ2. Followers of this question should consult say haemophilia in wikipedia.com.
Is it true that sexlinked recessive disorders are most often passed from mothers to sons?
true
Is sickle cell anemia a sexlinked trait?
Nope! The disease is equally in both males and females. This means that it is autosomal.
Why are men more likely than women to be colorblind?
Yes. Because the colorblind trait is a sexlinked trait and is found in the X chromosome that is inherited from the mother, men that only have one X chromosome will develop colorblindness if the trait is found in this gene. For a woman to get it, she would need to have the colorblind gene on both x chromosomes. Therefore the girl´s dad would have to be colorblind and the mother at least a carrier.
Why can females but not males be carriers of sexlinked genetic disorders?
Several genetic disorders are caused by genes on the X chromosomes.
Is an x chromosome and chromosome the same thing?
